Where are the Chinese big budget sci-fi/fantasy spectacles? Only Chinese movies coming out these days are comedies. Seems pretty mediocre. Gone are the days of Wandering Earth or even last years Creation of Gods.

2022 COVID restrictions say hello.
Creation of Gods II is next year and Wandering Earth III the year after.
But really with the success of Black Myth Wukong I expect money and talents to flow to AAA gaming and Chinese cinema to suffer for it.
Heard Creation of God 1 did not have money for full visual effects. With its profit, 2 is in serious post production in several studios.
You flatter Americans far too much, most Chinese consider them politically misguided equals at best, at worse, ignorant people who should stay far from Asia.
It is to me more obvious that Trisolaris represents a long term whole of earth threat, such as the climate crisis. The theme of different solutions (run away from solar system, stay and fortify, colonise inside the solar system) are themes that Liu Cixin has in many different works, all as answers to a sort of societal crisis. He then explores the themes and ideas of each idea, and the effort needed for humanity to succeed.
The message is that when we work hard and are creative in our solutions, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. And the American solution (to lay down and just let climate change happen, then let the rich hide away while the poor are culled) is satirized as especially bad, when the first thing that happens when humanity has to move to Australia is that the rich get killed by the rabble, which I assume is what the author thinks would happen to all those oligarchs once they retreat to their elevated tropical islands.
Americans are allegorized in Three Body problem as themselves.

My god. Seemed like Chinese movies/dramas nowadays are just adaptation. Adaptation is not bad but directors and actors has a lot more restriction to be creative and fans of original work are usually easy to trigger if something is not "right". Where are original script? What is scriptwriter in China even doing now?
China will soon surpass Japan in many aspect.. cars, phones, gadgets, music, cyber city, transit, video games, drama, movie... except degens and porno
Showing something like Link Click, Scissor Seven or (incoming) Lord of Mysteries might be more persuasive than some random cute-girls-do-cute things donghua. At least Link Click and Scissor seven had significant fanbase.
Lacks degens? Have you looked at the games thread?
